The TTB has arrived! So big, so many teas… no chance to try them all!
Tea #24
Well, I don’t know what monks drink, but apparently I am not a monk myself as I have found this tea rather disappointing.
It was coppery and metallic black tea base with some, generic, fruity tea. If I am not mistaken, it should be grenandine; but for me it was just a little tart red fruit. But it was also somehow woody, oak wood to be bit more descriptive… and well, honestly in a conclusion, not great tea.
I have finished it, but nothing I have to re-try.
About 12 years ago I tried a couple of Monk’s Blend teas and felt the same as you.
(Smiling nostalgically) Once upon a time in the 90’s, Culinary Teas was one of the few online retailers with a sizeable selection, and this was one of my favorites. Of course, I hadn’t met you folks who upped the game for me ;)
